I have not heard of a Mormon anti-FR site.
And I don't understand how such a site would be structured.
I can't imagine, if there was such a site, how it could negatively impact FR financially.
So I don't think people should get worked up about nothing.

There are a number of Mormon web sites, even some that discuss the relationship of their religion to politics.
These have existed for many years, some probably older than FR. So what? It's a free country.

I am reading on this thread that FR is open. Mormons can answer the Mormon bashers if they wish.

However, I think a more important question is why should Mormons be put into a position to have to defend themselves. We need to keep focused on the goal, to reestablish a conservative government. anything else is a diversion. We only serve the God-less democrats if we break up into subgroups taking pot shots at each other. We need to work together. We should not be under attack for things that don't matter in terms of our primary goal.

I think it is stupid to do that.

I think a way to solve the problem is for moderators to immediately shift religious attack posts to the religious section of FR and not let that kind of a discussion diminish the usefulness of the activism and news section.
That way, those who are not interested in such nonsense will find it easier to ignore.

Perhaps you may want to convey this same question to LDS missionaries as 60,000+ visit Christian homes telling Christians, with a smile, mind you, that they're "apostates." (Why do all Christians have to defend themselves against this charge?) I recommend to all that they be very hospitable to such LDS missionaries.

When they visit, ask them to open up their "Scriptures" & read Joseph Smith's first vision outloud, especially verses 18-21. Then ask if your particular church body qualifies as a sect that is "wrong," 100% full of "corrupt professors" with 100% creeds that are an "abomination to the Lord."

My point is if Christians have to daily defend themselves at their porches & front doors from these charges, then a much, much smaller contingent of Lds can deal with a few hundred or thousand electronic exchanges. (Let's keep things in proper perspective)
